UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON NUMEROUS OCCASION, REGARDLESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OR OTHER VARIABLES, MY 2010 F150 WILL STALL OUT RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I LOSE POWER STEERING, THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE MY TRUCK OUT OF HARMS WAY ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS DURING TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOVING AS WELL AS STATIONARY. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING TURNING, SLOWING DOWN, ACCELERATING, IN FACT IT IS HARD TO PIN POINT A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF WHEN IT OCCURS. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON MANY OTHER FORD TRUCKS AND YET NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE SHOP AND A LOT OF MONEY SPENT TO HAVE IT FIXED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW LITE (GLASS) ON MY 2010 F-150 SVT RAPTOR SHATTERED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED RUNNING AND THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON. THE SHATTERED GLASS STAYED IN PLACE, BUT REQUIRES THE COMPLETE REAR WINDOW TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON REPORTED ISSUE ONLINE WITH FORD TRUCKS OF THIS AGE, WHERE FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A DEFECT REPLACEMENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FORD F-150 WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. THE ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH FUSE #27 OVER HEATING BUT NOT BLOWING. FUSE #27 IS THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP DIVER MODULE. THE ENGINE HAS NOT DIED ON ME WHILE IN MOTION THOUGH THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER INSTANCES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR VEHICLE DIE ON THEM. (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C21953_DS740770) I WORRY THAT I WON'T BE SO LUCKY AS TO HAVE THE ISSUE ONLY HAPPEN WHILE PARKED AND IT ONLY BE AN INCONVENIENCE. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR 2009-2014 F-150S, TSB 15-0137 TO RELOCATE THE FUSE. I RECOMMEND NHTSA ORDER FORD TO RECALL OF ALL TRUCKS POSSIBLY AFFECTED SO THIS DOES NOT CREATE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE.

STEERING
IN 10/2016, MY STEERING FLUID BEGAN LEAKING AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY STEERING RACK WAS FAULTY. AS FORD DID NOT HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE, I WAS FORCED TO ACCEPT AN INFERIOR AFTER-MARKET PART AND INCURRED A WHOOPING BILL OF $1,400 FOR THE FIRST REPAIR! AS OF TODAY, 1/18/2018, MY TRUCK IS BACK AT THE FORD GARAGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY 6TH AFTER-MARKET PART WHICH ALSO LEAKED AFTER INSTALLATION. I WAS INFORMED IN FEBRUARY 2017 THAT FORD WOULD HAVE AN ACTUAL FORD STEERING RACK, BUT ALMOST ALMOST A YEAR LATER, I'M BEING FORCED ONCE AGAIN TO ACCEPT AN INFERIOR AFTER-MARKET PART. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING ONLY ONE VEHICLE, BUT WE WILL AGAIN HAVE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL WHICH WE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING. MOST OF ALL, THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED IN OUR SITUATION IS THE MOST CONCERNING AS THIS FLUID LEAKS ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT MY ABILITY TO STEER MY TRUCK COULD AT ANYTIME BE COMPROMISED RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN
IN ADDITION TO THE 2013 FORD F150 TRANSMISSION RECALL, I HAVE A 2010 F150 THAT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AT SPEED. I WAS GOING 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON A VIRGINIA INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN MINE DROPPED FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR IN AUGUST 2011. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD, BUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THE CURRENT RECALL REPORTS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS, SINCE MY TRANSMISSION STILL HAS A HARD SHIFT FROM TIME TO TIME, SO I DON'T FEEL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MEGATRONICS UNIT (TWICE), AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE TRAIN WHICH I STILL FEEL IS NOT 100% FIXED. I SEE NOW THAT THE RECALL MIGHT BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2011 AND 2012 F150S, BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THOSE 2010 MODELS TOO, SINCE I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 F150.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AT TIMES. OCCASIONALLY IT DOWNSHIFTS AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN FAST, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST SLIPS OUT OF GEAR ALTOGETHER INTO NEUTRAL, THEN THE ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN. BOTH TIMES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES BACK INTO GEAR, IT CREATES A LARGE THUMP SOUND AND THE TRUCK JUMPS, OCCASIONALLY SPINNING MY TIRES. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WHILE DRIVING FROM A STOP SIGN/LIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. AT LEAST 10 TO 15 TIMES PER MONTH.

ENGINE
MY 2010 F150 STARTED GETTING CARBON MONOXIDE COMING THROUGH THE CABIN HEATING SYSTEM. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND BOLTS BREAKING DUE TO RUSTING OUT AND ALLOWING CARBON MONOXIDE TO SEEP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND INTO THE CABIN. I AS THE DRIVER BECAME ILL FOR 2 DAYS AS I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE POISON WAS COMING INTO THE CABIN AT FIRST. I HAD A 70 MILE HIGHWAY DRIVE TO GET HOME. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERE RUSTING THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE TRAIN STARTING AT 3 YEARS OLD. FORD HAS NEVER ACCEPTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THIS AS IN HOPES OF NOT HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I FEEL I COULD HAVE DIED FROM THIS POISONING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS, ESPECIALLY ONE AS NEW AS THIS VEHICLE.
